#### 17.8.2 Creating hotspots for jumps and pop-ups in WinHelp

To create a hotspot, in DITA XML specify a dedicated @outputclass for either of the following:

- the text of a cross reference
- text that contains a hypertext link.

Note: If hotspot text is followed immediately by a space, when your WinHelp project is compiled the space disappears, even though it is present in the RTF output. The workaround is to make the space a hard space in DITA XML.
